Q man with q little child in his arms on
the bauk Of the river, both dead, and a
woman lying On the snow, who had been
covered by kind persons with what spare
clothing they could procure. Soon after
there was sufficient help to remove her to
q hotel. She was badly hurt, but is still
alive. Soon as the flames had subsidized
suf1cisntly the work of recovering the
bodies from the wreck Mas begun. Most OF
the remains are 30 cbarred ~ to Dc un-

taken out. It Was not badly mutilated.
The remains OF the porter OF n i the
cars WAS identified by his clothing and
watch. The body OF A. L. Wesson. son
of the w%ell-kpown arms manufacturer OF
Springfeld, Massachusetts, was identified
tonight BY friends from his home.

have been taken out of the wreck. and only
Eve OF them arc recognizable. It will be
impossible to tell how many were on the

taking up tickets. Many OF the bodies have
probably gone into the river and under the
ice.

ROTTEN BOROUGH POLITICS.

Substitution Of Ballots Said to Have
PHILADELPHIA, February 5.-Some sen.
satienal evidence was presented before the
New Jersey assembly election committee in
Camden to-day by the Republicans to
prove that the ballot box of Center town.

votes changed from Haines to Turley to
insure the election OF the latter to the
assembly on the recount.
William C. C~hambley, locksmith, Of Phil.
a dslphia, testified: II was sent for to
come over to New Jersey to open a box
and went and opened it. 1t was in last
November. 1t was an awful dark and
stormy night and I crossed by ferry; there
was one man with me. When We got across
We got in q carriage. I don't know the
man. We drove around q corner, then
another man got in with a friend who came
across the river with me. We drove up the
country . good distance and stopped.
When We get to the place where the
box was lit ~ q private dwelling) all

Centre township box.) That is the one I
operated upon. It had three locks. I
it open. There were papers in it,
but l didn't see what they we're. Then I
unscrswed the locks and made keys to fit
them. Those keys I gaveto the men. After
I opened tho box and made the keys l was
paid $40 by one Of the men. Then I en-
tered the carriage, was driven nearly to the

for the democrats, witness said that hehad
never been arrested, and had never opened
but one ballot box before. He thought he
was merely doing IN ordinary piece OF
work. and had no idea he was
committing n crime. McDermott asked
that tho witness be detained, and Chairman
Matthews directed the sergesnt-at-arms to
take him into custody. The Republican
counsel objected to what they claimed was

A Quoer Fact Como erning tho Eyos.

There's lots Of advice to be given in re-
garG to the care Of the eyes, remarked On
oculist the other day, and 80 much has
been said and written on the subject that
1t scarcely seems worth while to say any
thing more. There's one thing, however,
that I've never heard mentioned, and that
is in regard to travelling, When q man is
on the train he almost invariably looks at
the landscape through the window nearest
him. This great mistake, both for phys
iological and aesthetic reasons. In travel
ing at the rate Of forty miles an hour oh
jects themselves TO the sight in rapid sue
cession, and in order to look at them the
pupil Of the eye has to undergo very rapid
changes. For instance, when you see q
house mile away the pupil is dilated /;
when the house is one hundred yards from
you the pupil is contracted. Now, in
travelling. you turn your attention first t
an object mile distant, perhaps, TO OIL
twenty feet from the car. The change H.
made almost instantly, aud the pupil does
not baye time to diiate or expand, as the
case may be. Now, il you look through q
window on the sido OF the car opposite
from where You are sitting you will find
that this does not occur. The different
objects in the landscape blend and spread
and spread ont into slowly moving pan
Drama instead Of being rapidly whirled
past your eyes. You get much better
view aud have the comfort Of knowing
that it has no effect upon your sight.
